Hi there, dear readers and subscribers. Today we take on contemporary landscape painting, presenting the top 12 results from our online article 'Contemporary Landscape Painting: A Complete Survey'. First and foremost, I wish to anticipate some negative comments who would rightly quote the lack of diversity in this list. We are simply presenting the top results from our survey, and as often, the top tiers of the art world still lack diversity. However, we strongly believe and notice things are shifting for the better. Feel free to read the entire article online, discover a broader selection of artists (link in description). To conclude, we would like to know what you think about landscape painting as a genre in a contemporary context? And who did we miss out in our list/article? Chat soon!

Thiebaud was much respected and beloved by us here. The SF/Bay Area artist community regard him in similar way as Diebencorn. His oeuvre is seen as pop influenced. Due to strong colors and oft iconic subjects such a bubble gum machines, dessert case repetition of cakes. The NY 60’s critics placed that on him. He saw himself as more then that. We here see him as Bay Area Figurative though his style taken by a hyped color work, that is much the atmospheric effect here. Due to our proximity to the bay and the Pacific oceans fog/sun mystical effect producing wild pastel colors! A fanatical fascination with contour and loose but well put color allowed him to enter a unique space between graphic and painterly. He taught for years at UC Davis not far from us (Benicia). He was not directly allied with the original SF/Bay Area Abstract movement; Diebencorn, Park, Bishchoff, Weeks, etc. (first generation) Bruce MaGaw, Manual Nuri, Joan Brown, etc. (second generation). I studied under Bruce MaGaw at SFAI. To my point his connection is to that groups “idea” of unrecognizable (abstract) flatness lilting into recognizable (realistic) form.

I'd be interested in how others feel regarding peter Doig in this. I'd say Doig is a narrative painter who uses elements of landscape to tell his stories. Not sure I'd ever call him a landscape painter.

The narrator of this video displays a good example of what in the art world is called Art speak: Artspeak (often derogatory) The specialist vocabulary and language associated with art and artists, especially when seen as complicated or pretentious. An Artist's Art is meant to speak/communicate to the audience or viewer through the artist's art not interpreted or explained by a critic or presenter. By all means, share your feelings, and thoughts, good or bad Etc...when talking to friends other collectors, and associates. But when speaking to Art brokers, dealers, Gallerists, Advisors, Etc... Beware, this is one reason there is such elitist manipulation in the ART market today. If you are a collector like me listen to your heart, after all, if it's your money and it's going to hang on your wall and be a True reflection of you and your taste, not someone else, Beware !

I think artists such as Mark Bradford, Shara Hughes, Mamma Anderson (like another commenter mentioned), Jonas Wood and Hurvin Anderson should have been included. I would enjoy seeing another list on this topic. Thanks!

Women don't care about pushing the limits or antagonize art institutions, usually. So they often end up doing decorative arts and crafts, but not the innovative type. They rarely take risks in life, because their biology is focused on more important things like safety and raising children. It's no surprise that you saw mostly men in those top ratings.

Yes, a very good question and valid point. The reason why I do not meddle with these research results is because we aim to be as objective and art scientific as possible. Via this methodology, the Artfacts algorithm is able to provide a reasoned selection of the most prominent artists today. However, these top results still need to be interpreted with a critical pair of eyes and mind. The main reason why we adore using the Artfacts algorithm is that it enables us to approach fame/popularity/pertinence objectively. Otherwise, depending on the person who creates the list, it would be entirely different. If I made them, I would be imposing my personal opinion on you, which I don't feel comfortable with. Instead, with this algorithm, we can create these rankings in a very coherent and consistent manner. It crawls all artists in the world, so every artist is considered, and it can often show a discrepancy between our perception of the fame of a specific artist versus reality

Female artists don't produce such garbage, as they're focused on harmony and beauty, as they create stunning decorative art and crafts. Men often take risk, don't care about beauty or practicality of their work and enjoy antagonizing art institutions and people in general. So, this rating of hideous garbage is mostly done by biological males.

How does one then define landscape? Having figures in a landscape as a reference should not preclude any work of art as being a landscape , house's, boats on the shore are well known in the history of painting in many a famous landscape work.
